Inline Flow (event actions)
Inline Flow is a sequence of actions inside an element’s event handler; it executes actions but does not return data.
Inline Flow (event actions): what it is
Section titled “Inline Flow (event actions): what it is”Inline Flow is a sequence of actions you add directly inside an element’s event handler (for example: click, submit, change). It executes actions in order, but it does not return data as a reusable result object.
WARNING: Inline Flows don’t return data. If you need results (data out), use an App Flow or Page Flow.
In-page
Lives on an element Event-driven
No outputs
Executes actions No return data
Use Inline Flow for simple UI glue: toggle, show/hide, small sequences of actions.
Keep it short; if it grows, move it into a Page Flow or App Flow.
Remember: App Connect event expressions are not JavaScript — use App Connect actions/expressions only.
When to use Inline Flow
Section titled “When to use Inline Flow”Inline Flow is best when the logic is tied to one element/event and stays short and readable.
Tied to one UI event (click/submit/change).
Short sequence of actions (UI glue, trigger an action, show a toast).
No returned data object (side effects only).
When to upgrade to a Flow component
Section titled “When to upgrade to a Flow component”Upgrade when the sequence becomes complex, you need reuse, or you want a clean inputs/outputs contract.
Upgrade for reuse: the same workflow is needed in multiple places.
Upgrade for clarity: the inline sequence becomes hard to understand/maintain.
Choose Page Flow for page-specific orchestration; choose App Flow for isolated reusable workflows that return results.
